Stocks ended a volatile session lower Friday, with major indexes ending at new 2010 lows following a weaker-than-expected June jobs report.

The Dow Jones industrial average lost 46 points, or 0.5 percent, after having been on both sides of the unchanged line through the session. The Nasdaq composite slipped¬† 9 points, or 0.5 percent¬†and the S&P 500 index dropped 0.5 percent¬†as well.

The Dow and Nasdaq ended at fresh 8-month lows and the S&P 500 at 9-month lows.¬†Stocks slid through most of the day as investors digested the jobs report ahead of a long holiday weekend. All U.S. financial markets are closed Monday in observance of Independence Day.¬†

Would the spirit of the Declaration of Independence have been any different if it referred to Americans as "subjects" instead of "citizens?"

Thomas Jefferson apparently thought so, and recent analysis of a rough draft of the Declaration has confirmed speculation that he considered both before settling on "citizens."

Recent hyperspectral imaging by scientists in the Library of Congress' Preservation Research and Testing Division performed on Jefferson‚Äôs rough draft shows he originally wrote the phrase "our fellow subjects." But he apparently changed his mind and¬†heavily scrawled over the word "subjects" was¬†the word "citizens."

Chemical dispersants keep flowing into the Gulf of Mexico at virtually unchanged levels despite the Environmental Protection Agency's order to BP to "significantly" scale back, according to a CNN analysis of daily dispersant reports provided by the Deepwater Horizon Unified Command.

When the May 26 directive was issued, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said dispersant use should be cut by 75 percent.

Moscow‚Äôs regional governor offered an unusual - and blithe - solution on Friday to the Russian capital‚Äôs massive traffic jams: get a helicopter.

‚ÄúI travel in a helicopter,‚ÄĚ Boris Gromov told journalists, the RIA Novosti news agency reported. ‚ÄúYou should also buy helicopters instead of cars - then you will not need roads.‚ÄĚ

He‚Äôs not the only one flying. About 400 Moscow region residents own helicopters, Gromov said.

Repair work has caused unprecedented holdups on the Leningradskoye Highway, one of the main traffic arteries to the northwest of Moscow.

The jams are so bad that about 1,500 people miss their flights from Sheremetyevo International Airport every day, according to RIA Novosti. And it‚Äôs not just commuters who are complaining. Russia‚Äôs state-run air carrier Aeroflot said it is losing an average of 400,000 euros per day over the traffic jams on the Leningradskoye Highway, the company‚Äôs deputy director-general, Andrei Kalmykov, told the Itar-Tass news agency Thursday.

Russia‚Äôs transport head on Thursday said the jams are here to stay. "I am sure that - fortunately or unfortunately - traffic jams in Moscow will not disappear because they are a result of Moscow's activity," Vasily Kichedzhi, head of the transportation and communication department, told RIA Novosti.

A man wanted in Hungary for the torture and killing of a Jewish teenager during World War II averted extradition Friday after an Australian federal court ruled in his favor, the an Australian news agency reported.

South Africa's former police chief, Jackie Selebi, was found guilty Friday of corruption resulting from his relationship with a convicted drug trafficker, the state news agency in South Africa reported.

A cap meant to capture oil gushing from BP's ruptured undersea well appeared to be bouncing in the water Friday, moving more freely than it has in the past.

The implication is that less oil is being captured, said Steven Wereley, a member of the Flow Rate Technical Group, which is meant to provide scientifically sound information about how much oil is spilling into the Gulf of Mexico.

High winds account for the cap's "wobble," said Mark Proegler, a BP spokesman. He noted that forecasters expect rough seas to calm a bit this weekend.

Mexican authorities have arrested a drug gang suspect accused of planning the shooting deaths in March of three people connected with the U.S. consulate in Ciudad Juarez and participating in the killings of 13 teens at a party in the city a month earlier, federal police said Friday.

Jesus Ernesto Chavez Castillo, known as the Camel, prepared the logistics and secured the weapons used to kill consulate employee Lesley Enriquez and her husband, Arthur Redelfs, said federal police spokesman Ramon Eduardo Pequeno Garcia. Jorge Alberto Salcido Ceniceros, the husband of another consulate employee, was killed in a separate attack that day.

The 13 dead people at the January party were mistakenly believed to belong to a rival drug gang, Pequeno said.

Memorial for Byrd - President¬†Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are among the mourners who plan to attend a memorial service Friday in West Virginia for Sen. Robert Byrd, a nine-term Democrat. The memorial service is scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. ET.¬†

Jaycee Dugard

The California Assembly on Thursday passed a bill appropriating $20 million to the kidnapping victim to settle her claims against the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, according to the chief clerk's office.

Dugard vanished in 1991 at the age of 11. She was found in August 2009, living in a shed in the Antioch, California, backyard of Phillip Garrido, a registered sex offender who had been on parole since January 1988. Investigators said Garrido fathered two children with Dugard during her captivity.

He and his wife, Nancy, are charged with 29 felony counts in the case. Both have pleaded not guilty.

In a report issued in November, the state inspector general's office found the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation failed to¬†keep tabs on Garrido properly or properly supervise the officers assigned to his case.

According to CNN affiliate KCRA-TV in Sacramento, corrections officials entered into the settlement with Dugard, now 30. The settlement process was "pretty much unprecedented," said Jeff Long, spokesman for Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, who sponsored the bill.
